Don’t characterize him as insane. Characterize him and his ilk as calculated psychopaths. Do not let them get away with an insanity defense at the next Nuremberg Trials.
Dementia, insanity and morally devoid are not mutually exclusive you can indeed be a demented psychopath who happens to be devoid of morality and potentially insane.
If we stop thinking about what what he is doing from a “he thinks this good for the country” viewpoint and start thinking about it from a “he thinks this is good for Donald Trump” viewpoint it all makes sense.
It isn’t even that. He is just going senile and is surrounded by a bunch opportunists and basically just repeats whatever the last person said to him. The increasing simple (it was Always simple but seems to be getting worse) language he uses sounds like someone with dementia if you have ever encountered someone with it.
He reminds me of my great-great-aunt when she was towards the end. I wonder when he’ll fall off his bed and start flat lining?
Calling him insane absolves him of responsibility. He’s a narcissistic, cruel, racist, sexist, abuser, and bully, to name a few. Everything he’s doing, he’s doing simply because he can, because he’s greedy and uncaring, and because people were mean to him or weren’t obsequious enough to him.
He’s also a traitor.
All those things are insane acts to do as a rational person, rather.
Fuck off with this shit! Trump isn’t insane; he’s dangerous and we will lose and die if we keep underestimating him!
Being insane and dangerous aren’t mutually exclusive.
The complete absence of accountability and the power he has makes his insanity more dangerous, not less.
It’s possible to be insane and also very dangerous. Consider Stalin or Hitler.

Insane? I don’t think so. I’d call him a dangerously self-centered narcissist. (The redundancy is intentional to stress the extreme amplitude of his self-serving attitude and behaviors)
He’s doing exactly what Putin wants.
I keep reminding everyone that wants to have this debate … Trump is already a known idiot
The insane ones are the American government and it’s people who just passively accept all this and a good percentage even join in on it.
Trump is indeed insane … but he is only the fine tip of a nation of insane people.
Microplastics making everyone dumber I bet.
Everything he does makes sense if he’s a Russian asset intent on destroying the US.
Nah he’s a cunt
he’s “boiling the frog” too quickly, which will lead to Vance using the 25th to “restore normalcy” allowing MAGA to continue destroying the country, just a little more quietly.
Nope, no one in the Republican party has the balls to do it and why would they when Trump is giving them everything they want? There’s no going back now, he broke rules that weren’t made to be broken. Also in case you forgot NOTHING a Alzheimer’s president does is illegal now. We have lost any sort of way of getting rod of him because our entire country is spineless.
Dementia, not alzheimers. And there’s definitely still a way to get rid of him.
<general category>, not <very probable specific category>.
What’s the value of that?
There’s no normal, and there never was.
Trump is doing exactly what the people who put him there want him to do. Imagine you wanted to rob a bank, and you managed to acheive the ability to unlease Godzilla on the city. He’ll knock the bank building down, opening the vault for you to plunder, and keep emergency services too busy to stop you. You could loot the entire city, and when it’s over, buy the decimated land for cheap and get the government to pay you to rebuild it. There’s literally no downside to you, because all the harm is done to other people.
Specifically, is a narcissist and a a psychopath.
He is an agent of chaos, driven by greed.
Now we all get to play the fun game called “dementia Donny” and have every day be a unpredictable mess.
25th Amendment, babe.
That’s as high a bar as impeachment. It won’t happen. They’ll keep him on even if he’s in a coma.
And who’s going to enact that? They all fully support him.
